When Gerard Butler played Leonidas in 300, did all these people were upset that it wasn't a greek guy ? i doubt it.
He looks more greek than, I don't know, Leon in the latest Resident Evil movie. Racism towards he being latino? No, but his hair and actions are nothing like Leon
One can even argue Wesker being black in the RE Netflix series, but he did such a great job that we gave him, and only him, a pass - like every other Lance Reddick job
And if producers wants a wider audience, do a better job in the writing. Don't change the looks that much of the characters. Sonic movie is the proof of this
